Wow, I was just checking this morning and over the last year I have had over 1000 people sign up to the fitness program email list that I have setup.

I had a plan initially a couple of years ago when I started this blog that I wanted to help at least a dozen people that year to lose the weight that they wanted or to at least impact a dozen people to attain their fitness goals.

After writing blog posts and procrastinating a little bit for that first year I finally setup a 12 part email course to help people to improve their fitness. I launched that a little over a year ago and have not really tweaked it at all since but I guess now I should look at that and see what ways that I can improve what I give out to the subscribers.

When I first setup the list I wanted to cover all of the aspects of food, eating patterns, cardio, weights, attitude, stretching and a few other things but the idea was to cover all of the basics in the email course and then people could have a base to learn more on the blog with my daily posts.

I am never sure how many people have been influenced by the emails that I have sent out but I am really excited that I have had some kind of an impact on a 1000 people over the last year.

If you haven’t signed up yet to the fitness email course then you can just fill out the form below

Health Clubs, How do you decide which one to join?

One of the great mysteries of a fitness plan is how to decide which health club, gym or fitness center is the right one for you. Most people go around and ask people they know which on to join and over the year I have belonged to a half dozen of so health clubs or gyms.

The Decision to join a gym

Congratulations on your decision to join a health club. This is one decision that once you follow through with, and keep up your level of commitment will forever change your life and how you relate to people, food and exercise. There is initially on joining a gym or health club an excitement in the future and a real clarity of purpose. I have never felt the excitement of being in a gym by doing any kind of other exercise.

Health clubs are a business and since you are going to be doing business with a Health Club you should be armed with information and the ability to make a decision based on what is important to you and not what is pitched to your by the health club salesman. I want to be very clear here, the onus is on you to decide what you want and need in a health club and the nice lady or mans job is simply to have you join their club.

What I will do within this series is educate you on what is important to think about and after that you can make the decision yourself, armed with the knowledge that you need to take that health club sales pitch head on and rebut it.

The process of finding a gym

In these next few articles I will help you to create a checklist of what is important when you go out looking for fitness center to join. We will uncover staff and what to look for, membership hours, fitness equipment, health club amenities, classes worth taking or not and of course the price that you should pay and how to decide what is fair.

If you already belong to a gym, fine, this may allow you to reevaluate whether you are at the right place and if you do not belong to a gym you will probably be joining one soon and I hope all the information you will find will help you make an informed decision on what kind of health club is for you.
